The latest Intel® Xeon® C5500 Series (i.e. Jasper Forest) CPUs are a new generation of quad-core processors specifically built for high-performance computing in long-life embedded system applications.
The Intel® Xeon® LC5528 offers compelling industrial computer advantages when deployed on a dual-processor single board computer like the Trenton JXT6966.
These processor advantages, coupled with the inherent Jasper Forest processor advantages of direct DDR3 memory interfaces and the PCIe 2.0 links to the CPU enable your system to operate faster and consume less power than previous generation single board computer technology.
Here are a few LC5528 processor parameters that you may find useful when selecting a PICMG 1.3 SBC as the foundation of a high performance rackmount computer / industrial server system:
- Better Thermals – Maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) is only 60W
- Better Thermals II – Maximum Tcase excursion temp = 85° C with Tcase nominal being 70° C
- Multi-Core / Multi-Thread Architecture – Quad-Core processor with Intel® Hyper-Threading results in eight processing cores being available for multi-threaded software applications.

Important topics covered on the JXT6966 product video include:
- Performance benchmarks
- Available I/O for the system
- Alignment within a backplane
- Mechanical layout benefits
- System design advantages
Application information for the JXT6966 single board computer plus additional system integration details on our new BPC7009 and BPC7041 PCI Express 2.0 backplanes are found on the Trenton website. If you prefer, Trenton’s TCS4500 4U rackmount computer is already integrated with a JXT6966 SBC and a BPC7041 backplane with additional options available to meet your specific configuration requirements.
